ab: Summary: Within the landscape evoked by the term “affect" are an
ecosystem of entities that alternately function as objects and as
connections; constituted and constituting. Historically, to invoke
affect is to simultaneously invoke cognition in the sense that
reference to either one of a dichotomous pair simultaneously calls the
other into being. Yet the authors of these chapters contest the
simplistic dichotomisation of affect and cognition, and consistently
argue for the fundamental, complex and intimate connection of the
various facets of affect: belief and emotions, for instance, with
aspects of cognition, such as learning and meaning. An additional
consistency across the chapters is the commitment to locating affect in
social practice, rather than locking it from sight within the
individual. Indeed, the argument for the inextricability of the
individual and the social seems relatively easy to make in relation to
affect, where the social performance of affect is so visibly consequent
upon personal history modulo the cultural considerations that frame and
shape the social expression of emotion and belief.
